Campbell and a male family member had been heatedly arguing throughout the night Friday, Rogers said, and police were called at about 7:30 p.m., he said.

The man had red marks on his back from being struck by the broomstick but was otherwise uninjured, Rogers said.

Campbell was brought to Penobscot County Jail and later released on $60 bail, according to a jail official.
